Whenever I see people presenting ussourced but totes legit insider rumors about upcoming Star Wars movies as absolute fact I remember this part of The Secret History of Star Wars and have a sensible chuckle. I mean, we're only a few years removed from that totally confirmed production leak about how The Force Awakens started with Darth Vader's glove falling to a planet from orbit and being a major plot point in the film, people are gullible as poo poo.

I hope that Ep. IX starts with Kylo Ren presiding over a Mofference on the Moffship explaining his plan to marry a robot double of Rey then it backfires when she shoots him with her eye lasers.

Wild Horses posted:Hey listen in the movies fascism clearly works better than republicanism The director meant for DJ to be wrong, but the setting has been changed so that he is right. We the audience know that the Board of Directors mandate eternal Star War and thus good will not only never triumph, it will never even be in an advantageous position. Because the Marketing Department said Rebels in X-Wings fighting an Empire in TIE Fighters tests well. All this even though the prequels had neither (half the movies at the time of the buyout.) I've rarely seen a new creative team/owner miss the point so hard as with Disney Star Wars. Out of four movies only one (Rogue One) understood the setting and it's themes beyond the most literal visual references. A story thats final message is about triumph over evil and the power of redemption has been replaced with a never ending groundhog day of space explosions. Any good achieved will always be undone and Fascist empires will always be the end result. The rebels are but Sisyphus, while DJ is the true space Buddha who has reached enlightenment.

They'll probably recast Leia. It's that or leave her character at where she is after TLJ, which is a pretty sad state for her (entire galaxy is on fire, no one cares to answer her personal distress call). She was obviously supposed to do something with Kylo Ren in Episode 9, and now it's just gone. Saying she died in a timeskip or something is too on the nose and having her absent entirely means they're just kicking that can down the road.

The chances of the character being recast are definitely above 0% but probably below 100%. The movie will be another flop either way, of course.

A distance from regular mortals and a bond to kylo ren has already sort of been set up. She is too flat to be dark, but would make sense that she could want to start fixing the galaxy herself a la anakin skywalker.

Yeah, people are giving those rumors way too much credence. In the Reddit post, he linked to his "leak" of TLJ as a way of showing he's the real deal. But there he got about as much wrong as he got right. He predicted Snoke would die, Luke would train Rey but not want to fight himself, and that Rey would leave and fight Kylo again. Which is mostly basic stuff you could guess if you're lucky. But he also "leaked" that we'd find out that Kylo spared Rey during the Temple Purge and left her on Jakku as a child, and that Phasma put a bounty on Finn's head and that he and Poe would spend most of the movie running from Bounty Hunters. If he really is seeing early storyboards, and that's a big if, then movies can change dramatically after storyboards, and this leak has no meaning because it may have no bearing on the final film.

The real question is how many people were doing what he was doing and he was just the lucky idiot who happened to get more right than other "leaks"?

Huh? Snoke getting killed in E8 was a huge twist. Are you going to call Reylo baby "basic stuff everyone can guess" too?

Snoke getting killed would be the one difficult thing to guess, I'll admit. But, like tadashi said, there were tons of people making "leak" posts that turned out to not be true, and he probably got lucky with that one. And no, I'm saying that the Reylo baby stuff probably isn't true.

Oh hey this big bad dude who we really don't know poo poo about is dead now... ok carry on!  Maybe they will give more information in the next movie or whatever but really him dying just left me with a huge wtf just happened feeling.

It could be true. We don't know. We'll have to wait and see. But it's such an oddly specific thing that it seems like it should be true.

They're not gonna recast Leia. The worst I can imagine is if they do a CGI recreation thing with her for like, a scene. I doubt they'll do that. She'll either be announced dead in the opening scroll, or there'll be some mention of her dying between movies.

Saw Solo finally. Thought it was alright, but the focus in this film, and Last Jedi, on those dice is very very strange. The dice are in one shot in A New Hope and never show up again, and these two movies treat them like they're a central linchpin of Han's character.

I'm hearing this a lot and yeah, I don't get why the dice are suddenly important. Was there ever any old EU thing where they have some super important significance or something? You could say they gambled and lost by rolling so much footage of them in the new movies.
